A&E has cancelled their crime drama, Breakout Kings after two seasons and 23 episodes. It seems this case is closed.
Breakout Kings follows a squad of U.S. Marshals who make special deals with prisoners to catch escaped convicts. The cast includes Laz Alonso, Domenick Lombardozzi, Brooke Nevin, Malcolm Goodwin, Serinda Swan, and Jimmi Simpson.
The series debuted in March 2011 to a 1.2 rating in the demo with 2.8 million viewers. The ratings declined in later weeks and the first season finale drew a 0.8 rating with 2.01 million.

In March 2012, the second season debuted with a 0.8 rating with 2.11 million. In that episode, many viewers were shocked to see Alonso’s lead character Charlie abruptly killed off. Alonso later told fans that leaving the show was not his idea.
Over the course of season two, the ratings for Breakout Kings further declined, hitting a low of a 0.5 rating with 1.27 million. The finale aired last month and A&E has decided they don’t want a third season.
Of the cancellation, Malcolm Goodwin (Shea on the series) tweeted, “So Breakout Kings is canceled. Thx to all 4 the luv & support over the last 2 seasons! It’s been a fun experience! Much luv! On to the next.”
The news comes soon after co-creator Matt Olmstead was signed to run NBC’s new fireman drama, Chicago Fire.
What do you think? Are you sorry that Breakout Kings won’t be back for a third season? Did Alonso leaving the series influence your watching the series?

Que mala onda, deseguro lo cancelaron por no tener ecenas de sexo, gente perversa que ya no les gusta ver buenos programas, me gusto mucho porque puede verlo toda la familia sin preocupar que va a salir algo perverso. Me encanto tambien el mensaje que tiene sobre una persona que iso mal, puede hacer nueva vida haciendo bien, y enseña que por mas malo que creas ser tienes corazon y puedes amar. Ojala y agan mas capitulos, deperdida que agan un final. Felisidades a todos los que estubieron envueltos en el programa. Dios los bendiga y Feliz Navidad!
need a season 3. ending too on the edge!
Bull**** need season three come on man that sucks really bad.
Loved the show. Bring it back
What the hell I’m so sick of these networks that cancel good TV shows. We need to start boycotting networks that pull this kind of crap!
I had no idea this show was going to be canceled until i was just about to watch the last episode of season two on Netflix, so of course i googled search to find out when season 3 would be coming out and this is what i find, It really sucks that you guys decided to cancel such an amazing TV series, great drama, outstanding action, love, hatred just everything i look for in a TV series. Charlie being killed off defiantly hurt me, I didn’t want to see him go, but that was just an crazy twist in a… Read more »
Def shld not have cancelled. Also agree cons will not sell out Ray. BRING IT BACK
Im so mad. I just watched the last episode on season 2 and wow. I cant believe there is not any more to come. My fiance and i are equally upset.
Brakeout kings should not of been cancelled and should be brought back
There should be a season three maybe with new characters. From seaon finale of episode two they was asked to give up Ray. The convicts should do so get out no more time in prison and Ray should be sent to prison. Season three pick up from there and start with a new team. That’s my opinion.
No i disagree. I dont think they should. Who likes snitchin convicts? Nobody! Keep the same cast!
Es una tristeza que dejen algo inconcluso, la vida me ha enseñado que hay que terminar lo que se empieza, no tener un final es irresponsable. Que pena
I am literally so upset about this. I watches 2 series within a week, I was hooked. such a good show and left at a cliff hanger like that, not fair… personally I want to know what happened? please bring it back only show i’ve actually wanted so much more of.
I can’t believe there’s not a season 3. I couldn’t wait to see the next episode and you cut it cold turkey. I love this show!!!! My most favorites are Ray n Lloyd….even thou I love them all. Please bring this show back soon.
watched on netflix , hooked immediately , very unfortunate it was cancelled so early , what a terrible way to end the series too , what do the Cons do , would they sell out Ray ? I really dont think so , I agree with another viewers point regards to SOA , but Kurt Sutter played that out beautifully , this on the other hand , had so much more to offer. sure would be nice to see someone with the stones to bring it back.. Great Show !!!!
I totally agree, hooked immediately. They definitely should bring it back. Even if it’s just released on Netflix. Please come back!!!!
They really need to break the show back and it was getting good. I wonder if the cons going to tell the truth about what Ray did.
There is no way this show should have been canceled..there has to be a way to get the 3rd season to air
